Donate to Invest in Kids Tax Credit Scholarship

Limited time opportunity to TRIPLE your gift and help a child receive a Catholic School Education.

A group of generous donors have agreed to pool their resources and offer a 2-for-1 matching program to schools run by the Archdiocese of Chicago. For every dollar designated to NCA through the Empower Illinois Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) between December 1, 2018 and February 28, 2019, NCA will receive two dollars in matching funds up to $100,000.

Here is an example of how powerful this program is: a donor with about $75,000 in income could donate $5,000 which would 1. eliminate Illinois state income tax liability (approximately $3750) and 2. provide $15,000 in scholarship support (after the $10,000 match). For a total of $1,250 (their donation of $5,000 minus the $3,750 in state credit), this donor has now provided three students with $5,000 in scholarships to attend Northside Catholic Academy.
